خَزَرُ:
بالتحريك، وآخره راء، وهو انقلاب في الحدقة نحو اللّحاظ، وهو أقبح الحال: وهي بلاد الترك خلف باب الأبواب المعروف بالدّربند قريب من سدّ ذي القرنين، ويقولون: هو مسمى بالخزر ابن يافث بن نوح، عليه السلام، وقال في كتاب العين: الخزر جيل خزر العيون، وقال دعبل بن عليّ يمدح آل عليّ، رضي الله عنه:
وليس حيّ من الأحياء نعرفه ... من ذي يمان، ولا بكر، ولا مضر
إلا وهم شركاء في دمائهم، ... كما تشارك أيسار على جزر
قتل وأسر وتحريق ومنهبة، ... فعل الغزاة بأهل الروم والخزر
وقال أحمد بن فضلان رسول المقتدر إلى الصقالبة في رسالة له ذكر فيها ما شاهده بتلك البلاد فقال: الخزر اسم إقليم من قصبة تسمّى إتل، وإتل اسم لنهر يجري إلى الخزر من الروس وبلغار، وإتل مدينة، والخزر اسم المملكة لا اسم مدينة، والإتل قطعتان: قطعة على غربي هذا النهر المسمّى إتل وهي أكبرهما، وقطعة على شرقيّه، والملك يسكن الغربي منهما، ويسمى الملك بلسانهم ويلك ويسمّى أيضا باك، وهذه القطعة الغربية مقدارها في الطول نحو فرسخ ويحيط بها سور إلّا أنه مفترش البناء، وأبنيتهم خركاهات
لبود إلّا شيء يسير بني من طين، ولهم أسواق وحمّامات، وفيها خلق كثير من المسلمين يقال إنهم يزيدون على عشرة آلاف مسلم ولهم نحو ثلاثين مسجدا، وقصر الملك بعيد من شطّ النهر، وقصره من آجر وليس لأحد بناء من آجر غيره، ولا يمكّن الملك أن يبنى بالآجر غيره، ولهذا السور أربعة أبواب:
أحدها يلي النهر وآخرها يلي الصحراء على ظهر هذه المدينة، وملكهم يهوديّ، ويقال: إنّ له من الحاشية نحو أربعة آلاف رجل، والخزر مسلمون ونصارى وفيهم عبدة الأوثان، وأقل الفرق هناك اليهود على أن الملك منهم، وأكثرهم المسلمون والنصارى إلّا أنّ الملك وخاصته يهود، والغالب على أخلاقهم أخلاق أهل الأوثان، يسجد بعضهم لبعض عند التعظيم، وأحكام مصرهم على رسوم مخالفة للمسلمين واليهود والنصارى، وجريدة جيش الملك اثنا عشر ألف رجل، فإذا مات منهم رجل أقيم غيره مقامه، فلا تنقص هذه العدة أبدا، وليست لهم جراية دائرة إلّا شيء نزر يسير يصل إليهم في المدة البعيدة إذا كان لهم حرب أو حزبهم أمر عظيم يجمعون له، وأما أبواب أموال صلات الخزر فمن الأرصاد وعشور التجارات على رسوم لهم من كل طريق وبحر ونهر، ولهم وظائف على أهل المحالّ والنواحي من كل صنف مما يحتاج إليه من طعام وشراب وغير ذلك، وللملك تسعة من الحكام من اليهود والنصارى والمسلمين وأهل الأوثان، إذا عرض للناس حكومة قضى فيها هؤلاء، ولا يصل أهل الحوائج إلى الملك نفسه وإنما يصل إليه هؤلاء الحكام، وبين هؤلاء الحكام وبين الملك يوم القضاء سفير يراسلونه فيما يجري من الأمور ينهون إليه ويردّ عليهم أمره ويمضونه.
وليس لهذه المدينة قرى إلّا أن مزارعهم مفترشة، يخرجون في الصيف إلى المزارع نحوا من عشرين فرسخا فيزرعون ويجمعونه إذا أدرك بعضه إلى النهر وبعضه إلى الصحاري فيحملونه على العجل والنهر، والغالب على قوتهم الأرز والسمك وما عدا ذلك مما يوجد عندهم يحمل إليهم من الروس وبلغار وكويابه، والنصف الشرقي من مدينة الخزر فيه معظم التجار والمسلمون والمتاجر، ولسان الخزر غير لسان الترك والفارسية ولا يشاركه لسان فريق من الأمم، والخزر لا يشبهون الأتراك، وهم سود الشعور، وهم صنفان: صنف يسمون قراخزر، وهم سمر يضربون لشدة السمرة إلى السواد كأنهم صنف من الهند، وصنف بيض ظاهر والجمال والحسن، والذي يقع من رقيق الخزر وهم أهل الأوثان الذين يستجيزون بيع أولادهم واسترقاق بعضهم لبعض، فأما اليهود والنصارى فإنهم يدينون بتحريم استرقاق بعضهم بعضا مثل المسلمين.
وبلد الخزر لا يجلب منه إلى البلاد شيء، وكل ما يرتفع منه إنما هو مجلوب إليه مثل الدقيق والعسل والشمع والخز والأوبار. وأما ملك الخزر فاسمه خاقان، وإنه لا يظهر إلّا في كلّ أربعة أشهر متنزها، ويقال له خاقان الكبير ويقال لخليفته خاقان به، وهو الذي يقود الجيوش ويسوسها ويدبر أمر المملكة ويقوم بها ويظهر ويغزو وله تذعن الملوك الذين يصاقبونه، ويدخل في كل يوم إلى خاقان الأكبر متواضعا يظهر الإخبات والسكينة ولا يدخل عليه إلّا حافيا وبيده حطب، فإذا سلم عليه أوقد بين يديه ذلك الحطب، فإذا فرغ من الوقود جلس مع الملك على سريره عن يمينه، ويخلفه رجل يقال له كندر خاقان ويخلف هذا أيضا رجل يقال له جاويشغر، ورسم الملك الأكبر أن لا يجلس للناس ولا يكلمهم ولا يدخل عليه أحد
غير من ذكرنا، والولايات في الحل والعقد والعقوبات وتدبير المملكة على خليفته خاقان به، ورسم الملك الأكبر إذا مات أن يبنى له دار كبيرة فيها عشرون بيتا ويحفر له في كل بيت منها قبر وتكسر الحجارة حتى تصير مثل الكحل وتفرش فيه وتطرح النورة فوق ذلك، وتحت الدار والنهر نهر كبير يجري، ويجعلون النهر فوق ذلك القبر ويقولون حتى لا يصل إليه شيطان ولا إنسان ولا دود ولا هوام، وإذا دفن ضربت أعناق الذين يدفنونه حتى لا يدرى أين قبره من تلك البيوت، ويسمى قبره الجنّة، ويقولون: قد دخل الجنة، وتفرش البيوت كلها بالديباج المنسوج بالذهب.
ورسم ملك الخزر أن يكون له خمس وعشرون امرأةــ، كل امرأة منهن ابنة ملك من الملوك الذين يحاذونه يأخذها طوعا أو كرها، وله من الجواري السراري لفراشه ستون، ما منهن إلا فائقة الجمال، وكل واحدة من الحرائر والسراري في قصر مفرد لها قبة مغشاة بالساج، وحول كل قبة مضرب، ولكل واحدة منهن خادم يحجبها، فإذا أراد أن يطأ بعضهن بعث إلى الخادم الذي يحجبها فيوافي بها في أسرع من لمح البصر حتى يجعلها في فراشه ويقف الخادم على باب قبة الملك، فإذا وطئها أخذ بيدها وانصرف ولم يتركها بعد ذلك لحظة واحدة. وإذا ركب هذا الملك الكبير ركب سائر الجيوش لركوبه، ويكون بينه وبين المواكب ميل، فلا يراه أحد من رعيته إلّا خرّ لوجهه ساجدا له لا يرفع رأسه حتى يجوزه.
ومدة ملكهم أربعون سنة، إذا جاوزها يوما واحدا قتلته الرعية وخاصته وقالوا: هذا قد نقص عقله واضطرب رأيه. وإذا بعث سرية لم تولّ الدّبر بوجه ولا بسبب، فإن انهزمت قتل كل من ينصرف إليه منها، فأما القواد وخليفته فمتى انهزموا أحضرهم وأحضر نساءهم وأولادهم فوهبهم بحضرتهم لغيرهم وهم ينظرون وكذلك دوابهم ومتاعهم وسلاحهم ودورهم، وربما قطع كل واحد منهم قطعتين وصلبهم، وربما علقهم بأعناقهم في الشجر، وربما جعلهم إذا أحسن إليهم ساسة.
ولملك الخزر مدينة عظيمة على نهر إتل، وهي جانبان:
في أحد الجانبين المسلمون وفي الجانب الآخر الملك وأصحابه، وعلى المسلمين رجل من غلمان الملك يقال له خز، وهو مسلم، وأحكام المسلمين المقيمين في بلد الخزر والمختلفين إليهم في التجارات مردودة إلى ذلك الغلام المسلم، لا ينظر في أمورهم ولا يقضي بينهم غيره، وللمسلمين في هذه المدينة مسجد جامع يصلون فيه الصلاة ويحضرون فيه أيام الجمع، وفيه منارة عالية وعدة مؤذنين، فلما اتصل بملك الخزر في سنة 310 أن المسلمين هدموا الكنيسة التي كانت في دار البابونج أمر بالمنارة فهدمت وقتل المؤذنين وقال: لولا أني أخاف أن لا يبقى في بلاد الإسلام كنيسة إلا هدمت لهدمت المسجد. والخزر وملكهم كلهم يهود، وكان الصقالبة وكل من يجاورهم في طاعته، ويخاطبهم بالعبودية ويدينون له بالطاعة، وقد ذهب بعضهم إلى أن يأجوج ومأجوج هم الخزر.

عُثٌّ, which is expl. by IDrd as a pl., is a gen. n., having a pl. meaning though it is a sing: (TA:) the pl. of عُثٌّ is عِثَاثٌ. (Msb.) An Arab of the desert, being asked respecting his son, said, أُعْطِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِنْ مَالِى دَانِقًا وَإِنَّهُ فِيهِ لَأَسْرَعُ مِنَ العُثِّ فِى الصُّوفِ فِى الصَّيْفِ [I give him, every day, of my property, a dánik (a small silver coin), and verily he is quicker in consuming it than the moth-worm in wool in the summer]. (TA.) And one says, فُلَانٌ عُثُّ مَالٍ, (S, O,) meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is a consumer of property; (PS;) like as one says إِزَآءُ مَالٍ, (S, O,) meaning “ a manager of property. ” (PS.)

In the saying of El-Farezdak, غَدَاةَ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ كَانَّ سُيُوفَكُمْ

↓ ذَآنِينُ فِى أَعْنَاقِكُمْ لَمْ تُسَلْسَلِ [In the morning when ye turned back, as though your swords were ذآنين (pl. of ذُؤْنُونٌ a species of fungus) upon your necks, (for the sword was hung upon the shoulder, not by a waist-belt,) not drawn forth], he has separated the doubled letter: thus the verse is related by IAar: but by Th, ↓ لَمْ تَسَلَّلِ [for تَتَنَسَلَّلِ]. (M.) It is said in a trad., لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ العَجِينِ [I will assuredly draw thee forth from them like as the single hair is drawn forth from dough]. (TA.) And in another trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أْسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ قَلْبِى (tropical:) [O God, draw forth the rancour of my heart]: and hence the saying الهَدَايَا تَسُلُّ السَّخَائِمَ وَتَحُلُّ الشَّكَائِمَ (tropical:) [Presents draw away feelings of rancour, and loose, or melt, resistances, or incompliances]. (TA.) And سُلَّ, said of a colt, means He was drawn forth a سَلِيل [q. v.]. (M, TA.) b2: Also He took the thing. (Msb.) Hence one says, تُسَلُّ المَيِّتُ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَأْسِهِ إِلَى القَبْرِ, i. e.

(Mgh.) b3: Also, aor. and inf. n. as above, He stole the thing: (Msb, TA:) or he stole it covertly, secretly, or clandestinely; (TA;) and so ↓ اسلّهُ. (TK.

Accord. to Freytag, اسلّ signifies He received a bribe: but this requires consideration: he gives no authority but the K, which does not justify this explanation.]

A2: اسلّهُ He (God) caused him to be affected with the disease termed سِلّ [q. v.]. (S, M, Msb, K.) 5 تسلّل: see 7: and see also 1, in the former half of the paragraph. b2: Also i. q. اِضْطَرَبَ [It was, or became, in a state of commotion, agitation, &c.]; said of a thing; as though it were imagined to be repeatedly drawn forth.

(S.) And اِنْسَلَلْتُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ I went away, and went forth, deliberately, or leisurely, and by degrees, from before him. (TA.) Sb says that اِنْسَلَلْتُ [used in this or a similar sense] is not a quasi-pass. verb; but is only like [a verb of the measure] فَعَلْتُ; like as اِفْتَقَرَ is like ضَعُفَ. (M.) It is said in a prov., رَمَتْنِى بِدَائِهَاوَانْسَلَّتْ [She reproached me with her own fault, and slipped away]: (S, Meyd, TA:) [originally] said by one of the fellow-wives of Ruhm, daughter of El-Khazraj, wife of Saad Ibn-Zeyd-Menáh, on Ruhm's reproaching her with a fault that was in herself.

سُلٌّ: see what next follows.

سِلٌّ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ سُلَالٌ, (S, M, K,) the former [the more common, and] often occurring in the verses of chaste poets, though El-Hareeree says in the “ Durrat el-Ghowwás ” that it is an erroneous term of the vulgar, and that the latter is the right term, (TA,) signify the same, (S, M, K,) as also ↓ سُلٌّ and ↓ سَلَّةٌ, (K,) [Consumption: or phthisis:] an emaciating, oppressive, and fatal malady: (T, TA:) a certain disease, well known; said in the medical books to be one of the diseases of girls, because of the abundance of blood in them: (Msb:) accord. to the physicians, (TA,) an ulcer, (K, TA,) or ulcers, (Msb,) [or ulceration,] in the lungs; (Msb, K, TA;) succeeding (تُعَقِّبُ [grammatically referring to سَلَّة]) either ذَات الرِّئَة [i. e. inflammation of the lungs] or ذَات الجَنْب [i. e. pleurisy]: (in the CK, بِعَقَبِ ذات الرِّيّةِ اوذاتِ الجَنْبِ is [erroneously] put in the place of تُعَقِّبُ ذَاتَ الرِّئَةِ أَوْ ذَاتَ الجَنْبِ: and in what here follows, the gen. case is put in the place of the nom. in four instances:) or a rheum (زُكَامٌ), and defluxions (نَوَازِلُ), or a long cough, and attended with constant fever. (K, TA.) b2: Hence the saying, in a trad., غُبَارُذَيْلِ الــمَرْأَةِ الفَاجِرَةِ يُورثُ السِّلَّ (assumed tropical:) [The dust of the skirt of the vitious woman occasions the loss of property]; meaning that he who follows vitious women and acts vitiously, loses his property, and becomes poor: the diminution and departure of property being likened to the diminution and wasting away of the body when one has the disorder termed سِلّ. (TA.) سَلَّةٌ The drawing of swords; (S, M, K;) as also ↓ سِلَّةٌ. (K.) So in the saying, أَتَيْنَاهُمْ عِنْدَ السَّلَّةِ [We came to them on the occasion of the drawing of swords].

الخَيْلِ (S) or عَلَى سَائِرِ الخَيْلِ (TA) (tropical:) [His rush in striving to outstrip proceeded against the other horses]. b2: And A revulsion of shortness of breathing (اِرْتِدَادُ رَبْوٍ) in the chest of a horse, in consequence of his suppressing such shortness of breathing [so I render مِنْ كَبْوَةٍ يَكْبُوهَا, but this phrase admits of other renderings, as will be seen in art. كبو]: (M, K:) when he is inflated thereby, one says, أَخْرَجَ سَلَّتَهُ [app. meaning he has manifested his revulsion of shortness of breathing]; and thereupon he is urged to run with vehemence, and made to sweat, and coverings are thrown upon him, and that shortness of breathing (ذٰلِكَ الرَّبْوُ) passes forth. (M.) b3: [In a sheep or goat, or a ewe or she-goat, it seems to mean Power, or force, of long continuance: see مَسْلُولَةٌ, voce مَسْلُولٌ.]
